Miss the old days??

I am sure there are plenty of old contextual ad publishers here that experienced both Google Adsense and YPN declines over night.

So, well we still made lots of money back then, but we try now and we make pennies? So what's the point?

But while we get pushed around by new site owners who think that 200 a day is huge on adsense then well atleast we can say.

Yea a $8000 day on YPN was alright.

u really made 8000 day? was it your one day b4 you got banned from VPN?

[coolsaint]

8000$ one day! You would be definitly the Top Payee of YPN!

[BombDiggity]

I wish. I had friends making double what I was making on YPN.

Everything is possible! Why not! I never make so much money but I believe!

[ljastangs21]

yeah adsense was good back in the day. My CPM was around 3 bucks which isnt good or anything but it sure beats the 50 cents CPM im getting now

I'm also affected of this crisis...I miss the old days that I'm earning $7 in 30 clicks per day on my celebrity blog.

The reason we arent making money like the old days was because everyone who was making money with their hobby websites started posting about it publicly and everyone else decided to jump on to the gravy train too.

There is still a lot of money to be made but as affiliate publishers we needed to change with the time, for the most part those that are feeling the decline in revenues are doing so because they kept sticking to what they were doing in the old days, they didnt adapt their business models or start automating their site/content building processes.

Making money these days can still be done like how it was 5-10 years ago but, in order to be adept at making that revenue our business models needs to have grown with the internet, unfortunately many webmasters didnt realize this and are now feeling the crunch.

Work smarter, not harder.

Hmm... $8k a day on contextual ads? that's a bit high... even for back in the day. Contextual ads are fairly weak right now, and I too miss the old day of high click prices. Congrats on your successes... your EOQ taxes must have been wild (hurts me even thinking of figures lol!). *Just did my taxes.... and still have them on the mind unfortunately*

But yeah, InterShark nailed it by saying the main thing that's changed is the amount of people playing the game now.
